Chapter 1 : Hannah

I stared blankly at my closet, I'm out of any idea for my outfit. Actually, going into a club is not my style so I didn't have a proper outfit for it. Maybe going out for a club before my birthday is a bad idea at all.

" Oh my, " Sara popped her head , " You still didn't change? "

I give her my sweetest smile then shake my head. Sara is my housemate, actually the house that I stayed right now is hers. She rent one of her bedroom for a college student like me, from that day we start to be a best friend.

" I didn't have any proper dress to wear, " I said.

" Shut it! If you don't then I have plenty to borrow. Don't make any excuses to cancel your birthday party, dear," She said, " Have a sit. I'll be back and borrowed you my dress. "

I obey and don't make any movement until she came back. She brought a mini black dress match with stilletto shoes. Oh my, this is what I'm worry about.

" Uh uh, no complaining, dear. You know this is a perfect outfit for a birthdy girl like you, " She warns me.

" But, this is very fenceless. Everyone will stare at my cleaveage." I guff.

" Right, that is the concept, Hannah. To make everyman stare at you. Don't you know how beutiful you are?" She grab my hand and handed that dress to me.

Sara insist me to met some guy tonight, she wishing that I will get a boufriend while she already break up with Tom. She promise that we will met the right guy tonight.

" Don't deny me, Hannah, you need someone that will love you. Books will never understand you. They won't bought you a coffee, or a chocolate on valentines day, bought you a delicious meal. No. You need a romance experience. " She lectured me yesterday.

I change my pajama into Sara's dress, well, it shows my certain part of course. But, I can't argue against Sara this time.

" I know it will perfect on you. Now, sit here. I'll apply some make up on your pretty face, " She command me.

I sit and do whatever she ask while she applying some make up on my face.

" Is that okay? I think it's too flashy?" I revolt to her.

" Oh dear, you didn't know how beautiful you are when you get too brave. I did it naturally, but it's that you are very pretty at that face, " She said while she did some touch up on hers.

" Done! We need to get there before we get too late, " She said while she open up her phone and ordered a taxi to pick us up.

It is too loud and so much noisy at the club, It was heard from the outside when we just arrive at the club. I forgot that today os Saturday night, sure is the club will be packed up with the youngster at this time.

" Here is the point, Hannah," Sara warn me before we enter the club, " Don't ruin your special night, okay? If you don't like them you can tell me straight away. "

I nod, of course I don't want to ruin my birthday night. I'll do whatever I like and promise myself to not ruin Sara's mood.

We entered the club and Sara's waving into a packed of men who already sitting down at the middle near the dancefloor. I frown, from the first glance I know I didn't like her company. College famous boys packed, it was Sara's type. I followed her although it was dissapointed me. All that I need to keep myself stay at the couch.

" Hey, guys, " Sara's greet, " Thank you for coming. This is my friend, Hannah. She's celebrating her birthday past midnight."

Everyone wowed and cheered for me, I give them a shy smile. While they have a chit- chat, I scanned the dance floor around. My eyes stop at the man accross the dance floor, straight right from our table, he stared at me. I turn my head to the back, making sure that he wasn't stared at me but to someone behind me,but there was no one behind. I sighed and turn my head to the front, hoping that the man wasn't stared at me now.

I'm surprise because he still stared at me, even he give me a half smile. His gaze give chills to the spine, then the fact that his half smile made realized how georgeous he is. He lean on his sofa and both of his hand twines the girls who sit beside him. At that moment I know he is trying to flirt with me while his hands are twines the girls beside him. I turn my face away, to see what happen on my table.

" Hannah! I'll go to the dance floor with James," She said while her hand was holding a red haired man named James.

I nod and watching Sara hit the dance floor. Sara was so much into it, while I'm an introvert girl who like to sleeping at my bed besides hang out on a night club like this. For me, it was my first time cane into a night club like this. Too much crowded, dance, dazzling light, then my head started to spinned.

" Hello, it's Hannah, right? " A dark brown haired guy who was sit next to me greets me.

I looking around and found out there is just two of us who sit on the table. Where are his friends? I remember there was four of them who sat on this table, six when we came. But now, it was just two of us.

" Happy birthday, by the way, I'm Harry, " He strech out his hand to shake hand with me.

I look at that man again and he owed me, he seems didn't take his eyes away from me since the last time I turn my eyes away from him. Now, he squinting his eyes while sipping his glass, I feel like he didn't like Harry sit next to me.

" I'm sorry, Harry, I need to go to the restroom, " I suddenly stand up and make an excuse.

I take sometime at the restroom to fix my make up, then checking up my phone. Oh god, there was ten missed calls from my father, he must be worrying me so much. Although we still not meet yet and our relationship not that close as a father and daughter, for me he had became a good father. But, still I refused to met him personally because I already know his job back in Tokyo.

My father is a japanese man, who run some bussiness back in Tokyo, he had some conditions to made us can't met personally. Meanwhile, my mother is an ordinary mother, she is a british woman who had fell in love to japanese culture which was made her stayed in Japan as an university student. After she graduated, she met and married to my father, then she went back to London while she pregnant.

She told me many times about how much she love 'Papa' , that is how I supposed to call my father, and she leave him because they want to protected me. As my mom said, Papa never forgot to send her some money to paid of our living. Though, she still have to work and remind me to not pampered about my life.

I think I should call him, before he start to get worried. At the second ring, I heard he answer my call.

" Hana - chan! " He sounds relieved.

" Moshi moshi, Papa? " I said, I knew he worried.

" Thank god, you were there. I thought something is wrong with you, " He said.

" Gomenasai, " I apologize, " I'm on the outside and I didn't heard your call. "

" You where going somewhere? " He asks.

" Sara ask me to go out with her, " I pray he didn't worried for me where am I right now.

" Well, speaking of that, it was six o'clock in Tokyo. So, happy birthday my beautiful daughter" He said, he sounds like holding back his tears.

" Arigatou, Papa, " I think I would shed some tears too.

" Is there any chance to make you come to visit me in Tokyo?" He begged.

I surprise by his word, I never thought this word will come out from him. For the whole of my life he trying to concealed me, kept me far from him. I didn't know if there was somebody in Tokyo knew that I was existed.

" Please, Hana. You know I didn't see you for this four years. " He beg.

Right, there was only me who never saw him. He, according to my late mom said, come to London sometimes and met her. My mom said, my father always saw me from far enough to keep me safe from his enemies, his competitors. She said, he will met me someday, but he never showed up on my mom funeral. He sent his close friend to send his mourne, at that time I was dissapointed and start to ran away from my guards.

Did I mention that I got some invisible guards from my father? Even he didn't protected us by himself but he sent some of his trusted men to protected my Mom and I from a far. My mom always said to me do not afraid of them, because they were here to kept us safe. Right after my mother's death, I vanished to move out from the house that Papa bought for us. Felt angry about everything, but now as the time passed I'm growing to understand his feeling through me, his only daughter.

" Hana?" Papa taking me back to the present.

" Oh, hmm. How about I invited you to London to attend my graduation day? " I ask.

" Really? When? "

" Next month, I will let you know the date is, " I stared at myself through the mirror.

" Fine, " He said, " I'll happy to come. "

" Okay, Papa. I need to go, or Sara will freak out because she lost me. "

" Hai, " He said, " I love you, my daughter and once again, happy belated birthday. "

I slip my phone back to my purse and walking outside of the restroom. Sara will be worried if she knew she lost me in this club.

Right after I open the door I am taken by surprise by someone who stand across the restroom's door. That man, the man that keep stared at me, stood still looking at me. His tall and sturdy figure leaning back against the wall, his hands across on his chest, at this this close I realized how georgeous he was, he give me his half smile.

" You took it so long in there, baby girl," His voice tickling me down to my belly, " I kept wondering to break in to make sure you were okay."

He walk straight through me, made me back down. He put his hand beside my head, cage me with his body. He smell like a hard liquor mixed with cigarrette and fancy parfume. He duck his head so he is very close to my face, he tilt his head and inhaling my unraveled- hair. He smile at me when he finished, his smile warns me about something.

Suddenly, he kiss my lips, give me a little bite on them, licking my down lip. I didn't know how to react since this is my first time to be attacked by a strangers and being kissed passionately at the same times. My legs feel like a jelly, I can't move them. He place his hand on my chest, holding me or was he felt on my heartbeat. Then, he break the kiss and nibbled his lips

" F$#k, " He wishpered, " You taste so sweet. "

At that moment, I gathered myself back and plan to runaway from him. I nibbled my lip and holding back my tears.

" I'm sorry, Sir. I think you get the wrong person. " I run away and never looking back.
